    WE dont understand most of these systems (TR , M-life , Gratze..We dont know how any of them works and it seems like they make them hard to understand on purpose .If it wasn't for Donna having a TR credit card we wouldn't be any wheres close to Our platinum status .at least with the Advantage card System (Coushatta ) it tells you exactly where your at points and cash wise & we can get an app for our i-phones if we like. Ill be talking to some of y'all at the meet about these different systems so that we might exploit them more to our benefit.

    I am working on cementing our Platinum status with MLife this trip.. As we don't have plans to go to an MGM casino until October, now that Keith is Diamond at Ceasars we will use that for our trips this year. Thinking Tahoe.. Hopefully AC for the meet and greet and Maybe a KC or Council Bluffs trip. Much harder to earn Tier credits in Biloxi. I still need 4500 so I better get a move on.

    For mLife, if you play anywhere but Las Vegas, you take a tremendous hit. That's one of the reasons that I left mLife.

    Yeah in Biloxi it's a big tier credit hit but faster express comps.

    It's not that difficult once you understand the basic rules of the system(s). They're each different and each has it's pluses and minuses.

    In order to "exploit" (i.e. maximize your advantage) the systems, that takes a little bit of study.

    The bottom line is, IMHO (not In any particular order)

    1)Play where it's convenient
    2)Play where you feel lucky
    3)Don't chase comps
    4)Play within your limits

    Take whatever comps you get at the level that you're playing.

    Thanks for your advice . I think the problem im having with TR Particularly is there doesn't seem to be a pattern to follow . At least with Graze (ya i know different card )the pattern seems to be stay and play at least a few days then go to Graze desk and see if you have accumulated any thing & if ya have then they will load it into the system and you can play it on any NON progressive machines .With TR it didnt seen to matter how much we played in any of there casinos . we would never get more than $10 in play comp

    One of the differences are that Grazie is "more" generous with converting comp points to Free Play.

    Anything less than Diamond level takes a beating when you convert Reward Credits (which differ from Tier Credits) to Free Play.

    Here's how it works with TR (this is a basic explanation and doesn't take into account any discounts you get depending on your tier level, except where noted):

    If you are purely a slot player, you accumulate Reward Credits (RCs) at the rate of $5 in equals 1 RC.

    Those can be used as comps, or converted to Free Play.

    If you use them as comps in a restaurant or gift shop, they convert at 100RC = $1

    If you convert to Free Play, the conversion rate is:

    Gold - 200RC = $1
    Platinum - 200RC = $1
    Diamond - 175RC = $1
    7* - 125RC = $1

    IMHO, with TR, RCs are much more valuable at restaurants than as Free Play.

    At Grazie, there is no difference between Free Play and Comps. $1 comps = $1 Free Play. I'm not going to go into the earning of comp points in the Grazie system, since it varies by machine.

    1k through would be 200 tier but we alway's try to go when there is a multiplier and have got as high as 25x that's when you make hay. hhh New years day I had a 3 time and made 2500 points so $75 in comps and we use them for food mostlly.
